1 Chronic administration of corticosterone (5 mg/kg) to developing rats induced an increase of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) activity in midbrain, but the responsivity of the enzyme to the steroid appeared to be limited only to a brief neonatal period (days 6-12). Corticosterone tryptophan hydroxylase 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Chronic administration of corticosterone (5 mg/kg) to developing rats induced an increase of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) activity in midbrain, but the responsivity of the enzyme to the steroid appeared to be limited only to a brief neonatal period (days 6-12). Corticosterone tryptophan hydroxylase 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 Thus, the effect of the glucocorticoid and that of reserpine on TPH may involve different mechanisms. Reserpine tryptophan hydroxylase 1 Rattus norvegicus
